Binary type in physical file that created thru DDS

I've a physical file that has a field that is declared as such in the
DDS:
A TID 2B 0

Data in this file is added/updated thru a C program. This C program
treats this TID field like it is an unsigned int. Everything works fine
in the C Program. But thing get a bit strange when I try to access it
thru RPG.

In Debug mode, below is what I see in RPG vs. actual hex value:
TID Actual TID Value TID Hex Value
Hex Value In RPG In RPG
0001 1 001F
00C8 0 000F

I think I know why it is doing this, so I did below to try to get around
the problem:
D tidInInt s 5u 0 based(subInInt_p)
D tidInInt_p s * inz(%addr(TID))

But it still did not slove my problem.
x'00C8' in TID is showing as x'006E' in tidInInt. <== This, I'm not
able to explain.
